Hey guys I know this has been posted before and I have found some small reviews on each tyre. I currently have stuffed pro comp all terrains on that came with the car they are stuffed but I don't have a deep pocket at the moment. I want a aggressive all terrain or muddy mainly at as I do both sand and rock clay mud etc. I have been quoted 250 bucks fitted and balanced for either a general mt or Achilles xmt. I'm not sure what tyre to go with. What would you guys choose? Happy for any other tyre suggestions that the price isn't through the roof. I'm located in Perth

I would go the xmt. Much more aggressive and has stronger sidewalls than the all terrains

Hi threedogs,
How are the federals wearing mate? I'm going to be in the market in the next 6 months by the look of my tyres and my budget is slim-ish right now too. I'd love an M/T tyre, but I need them to last a while too...

Sounds like a damn good deal then! Be fitted in time for Licola?

Yeah that's the plan..... Or I might just fit my Simex ET2s for the Snow trip if I haven't sold them yet.

If anyone is still looking to buy a set of muddies saw huntsman were having 10% off for Father's Day sale (no affiliation or anything to them, just passing on info )

I have just bought the Achilles XMT. They are not noisy at all. Steers well on the road. I will let you know what they are like off road soon.
